Skyrim mod error 16

This ate up time today, so I though I’d note it down here. All attempts to download Skyrim mods using the Steam Workshop were create error 16 unable to download file when starting the launcher. There’s barely anything on the internets about what causes this error, or how to fix it, so here’s my findings. To fix it in my case, I tried a number of things, but the only ones that ultimately produced a working download were to grant my user full control on the skyrim data directory, and to completely exit and restart steam. Which one of those actually did anything, I’m not sure. Probably this is as simple as “restart the steam client”…

tweeting

It’s been a while since I posted here. Mostly I find it problematic to keep the momentum in blog posts, as they do require some degree of effort to maintain. I’ve just added a link up to my latest tweet (yeah, I’m now “tweeting” or whatever they call it, @mistohise).

I dare say there’s been quite a lot of events that have transpired since January, though right now I’m at a loss to capture them all. Recently there have been horrific coach crashes, Ireland wining the six-nations, more people who are not us wining the lottery. Less recently, I expect other notable things have taken place. I wish you all luck in navigating your own events. :)

Train madness

This is rubbish. A big man chucks a[n allegedly] fair-dodging scroat off of a train and then it’s him who gets pulled up on an assault charge. The fair-dodger’s case still seems to be under advisement. Something seems a bit backwards there.

Dopey

So it’s been a while since I blogged anything here. The world has been in financial crisis, the Formula 1 has been won by Vettel again, and I’ve been generally entertaining myself with family life and other things.

Sadly last week we lost our speckled chicken Dopey. I can only hope that she had a good life whilst she was with us, short though it was. The vet reckoned that there was probably some kind of internal problem like a twisted stomach that caused her to prolapse. She’s now gone to the big coup in the sky. RIP Dopey. Our other chickens Korma and Tikka are doing fine and are about to embark on their first winter with us. This should be an interesting prospect, which may well be full of me fretting abou their water freezing. We shall see.
